Enrollment and Degree Verification

An Enrollment Verification serves as documentation that a student is currently enrolled at the University for a particular semester(s) as a full-time, half-time, or less than half-time student. This form is frequently requested to prove enrollment to health insurance and housing agencies, employers, or others.

Auburn University at Montgomery contracts with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to serve as a third party agent in providing enrollment and degree verifications.  The clearinghouse can be contacted at 703-747-4200 or via the Web at National Student Clearinghouse or  Degree Verify.

Registered students may obtain Enrollment Verifications (proof of enrollment) from the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) via MyAUM according to the following schedule:

• Spring Semester: Available beginning at the end of December
• Summer Semester: Available beginning the second week of June
• Fall Semester: Available beginning the second week of August

Enrollment verifications required before these begin dates must be processed by the Registrar’s Office. Requests can be made in person; by emailing Records@aum.edu; or calling 334-244-3125.

How to create an Enrollment Verification Certificate through the NSC:

• Log on to MyAUM

Good Standing Letters

Good Standing Letters are required for a number of reasons, but most often when a student wishes to take classes at another institution as a transient.   At AUM, to be considered in good standing academically, students must have at least a 2.00 grade point average for both their AUM and cumulative GPAs.

Letters of good standing can be requested in person; by emailing Records@aum.edu ; or calling 334-244-3125.
